Sport Lots auction winnings

 Not sure how many of you folks have went the Slots auction route before. I check it from time to time, and it's different but sometimes I win one. This time there was a "lot" right up my alley. 

There was a lot of 93 Atlanta Braves Topps rainbow foil cards with no dupes. I had a competitor but I won out in the end. $4.50 (plus $6.00 for shipping). Now rainbow foils are one of the easier parallels to obtain and that means that I have a lot, but not all so it would be a chance. 



The years were 205-2025. I scanned only the needed for the Braves team.



I needed 48 of 93! That was really awesome. Several more went to the PC boxes (for the next sort). Only 21 cards were of no use to me. I call that great!



I was certainly surprised by the big names being in there too.








The auction win was definitely a good thing for me. On a side note, I've finally requested my "BOX" containing 276 cards mainly Braves to be shipped and they are now on the way! And even if I need 200 of them that still keeps me behind that other guy by 1000 cards, yeah he is back to where he was staying for years around 1100 cards ahead of me no matter how many I add he always comes back to that number which is why I think he fakes it. But oh well, I will get there one day it just takes a really really long time when I am keeping it on the cheap side (usually .25 or less cards). The box order coming does has some .50 cards though.

  1. I used to bid on those auctions, been a long time though, and I had a couple with autographed index cards up last year. They did okay.

  3. I poke my head into the auction section every now and again but I don't think I ever bid on one. If I had seen a lot that was all rainbow foil Orioles, I would have tried my best to win it!

  5. Nice. Anytime you can cross off 48 parallels off your wantlist for $10.50... it's a huge win. Congratulations!
